Allison is a good tranny if you get into the EVS models. They are built for extream punishment (Full throttle all the time every time), but the EVS is for some commercial trucks and all fire trucks. My buddy had a GMC with an allison tranny and had more problems then any tourqshift I ever heard of.

I trust my tourqshift, and will stick with it.

Feel free to shoot this down at anytime...but I read and heard that the Torqshift is actually an Allison design...is that true?

Never tried the torqshift but I enjoy my Allison. Haven't modded mine out yet but then I'm running the Banks 6 Gun with PDA and have only run it in level 6.
